Bass Fishing Lure Selector Chart « Wired2Fish: "The biggest question we get asked by anglers is when to throw what bait. And guys wanted to know if there was a chart you could go by on when to fish bass fishing lures.
We organized the Wired2Fish Bass Fishing Lure Selector Chart by water temperature and water clarity. See if this helps you with some general ideas of when to throw what baits. Obviously experimentation is the key to fishing. So don’t think these are the only baits, but it will give you a starting point and you can expand from there."

Lake Fishing Reports MN Fish Winnie Cass Leech Winnibigoshish Pokegama
Lake Fishing Reports MN Fish Winnie Cass Leech Winnibigoshish Pokegama: "Gusty winds and stormy weather turned Saturday's fishing trip into a geography test. Fishing decisions were based on where we could fish, more than where we wanted to fish.
For me, the challenge was finding spots where I could keep my crew within reach of some fish. For Kevin Scott and Al Heimer, the challenge was sorting through weeds, rocks and wind to detect finicky strikes. I think we did a darn nice job, even if I do say so myself."

Make Fish Stories Reality | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Fish stories are famous for telling the tale of the one that got away. That's about all losing a fish is good for. Sure your buddies will get a laugh, your friend in the boat might rib you the rest of the day. You on the other hand, have to bear the harassment. When fishing a tournament, the fish story could be deemed as an excuse.
Fishermen are full of excuses. As avid anglers, we should do everything in our ability to eliminate the excuse factor."

The frustrating situation becomes compounded when an angler is just learning how to use a baitcast reel while on a fishing trip. In some extreme cases, these anglers get so exasperated with the baitcaster that they never use one again. "

Harvest - A Success Story | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Harvest - A Success Story | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "biologist Bob Lusk.
One 50-acre impoundment in Texas called Pinto Valle Lake produced excellent spawns of bass, with no survival of young. The bass population ranged in size from eight to 10, and every fish was 20-to-30 percent underweight.
The forage base was empty. No bluegill, no shiners, no nothing. Reason: The lake had too many bass, too little food. The bass could not grow. To survive, the bass leaped from the water to catch dragon flies. On any summer evening, just before dark, people would drive to the lake and set up their lawn chairs, just to watch the bass jump for insects. This makes for cheap entertainment, but poor growth-rates for largemouth."

There are tons of knock-offs, but a lot of anglers insist that the original Gitzit is the best. Sadly Bobby and Garry have both passed on. I actually met up with Garry a few years before he died and fished Roosevelt with him."

Falling Overboard | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "If you have ever witnessed someone fall overboard, you've felt the chills of reality. Fishing from a boat can be dangerous, but don't feel somewhat guilty if you have felt some humor in it, too.
Sometimes, an accident can be dangerously funny. That may sound like a redundant term, but it isn't. It is human nature to laugh at someone else's mishaps when no injuries have occurred. But even under the laugh, it also is human nature to realize that you understand the seriousness of the mishap and are prepared to take extra cautions to make sure it never happens to you or to a friend."

There can be a pattern within a pattern, and there can also be more than one pattern used during the day. Typically patterns are easier to develop for reservoirs."

How's Your Bass Persona? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "To me the most important thing you bring to your fishing ability is your own individuality. Remember that you are an original. No one can copy you exactly. And you can't copy anyone exactly. This one fact can be the greatest technique you have. Your personality and individualism are major assets if you learn how to use them in your fishing. I can tell you that if you don't let your instincts take over and use that individuality you can never be a great fisherman.
There's nothing wrong with copying a technique from someone else, or learning all you can, just remember to apply your own personality to that. With that thought in mind, here are some exercises in extending the personality of your fishing to make it more successful."

Well, I'm sorry, but I needed to get your attention because sometimes reporting "old news" requires a little creativity.
So what was the big deal about the marker? Here's the scoop; There was a nice school of "keeper size" Walleyes in those weeds and if we wanted to capture some of them, it was important that we didn't scare the fish away. On a calm day, in clear water, plowing into those weeds would have ruined the whole deal. For me, when there's no margin of error, this "old technology" is still one of my most useful tools."

Drop Shots: #1 for Numbers of Bass in Summer & Fall | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Drop Shots: #1 for Numbers of Bass in Summer & Fall | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Once the heat of summer comes on and bass move to deeper locations, the drop shot rig will likely be your best option for catching numbers of bass. While jigs, Texas rigs, and Carolina rigs often produce larger bass, these rigs will often struggle to keep up with the numbers that a drop shot can catch. And if the fishing turns tough, the drop shot will often save the day with some nice catches while more conventional methods may only produce a few fish all day. Although many of you have already mastered this technique, I'm still surprised by the number of anglers that either refuse to fish with this "sissy technique" and by the anglers that have still never encountered a drop shot rig. Now through November is the perfect time to learn drop shotting on Fork or just about any other lake in the country."

Mining For Bronze | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Mining For Bronze | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Arguably, bass are bass. Whether it's a smallmouth in a high east Tennessee reservoir or a smallmouth in a sprawling New England lake, these fish behave in the same general manner. They migrate to shallow water in the spring, back out to deeper water in the summer and then invade the shallows again as the water cools and winter approaches. Of course, various factors alter their daily routines and no two lakes are identical. Still, a smallmouth in Alabama's Pickwick Reservoir responds to water temperature, the presence of bait and the urge to spawn much the same way as a smallmouth in Lake Champlain."

The more aggressive bass are those with greater strike zones, the more readily willing to chase forage. This plays into the strengths of crankbaits. These baits, as a category, are by their nature plugs which are designed to cover more water in a shorter period of time than the more slowly worked soft plastic and jig-n-pig combinations.
The two types of baits actually compliment each other in that you can work located schools for longer periods once they have been found by using a worm or soft plastic, but the catch is, you have to first find the schools."

Do Fish Have Directional Hearing? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Do Fish Have Directional Hearing? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Humans and other mammals identify the directions sounds come from by comparing difference between the times sounds arrive at one ear and then the other. Fish can't determine the direction of sounds this way. Their inner-ears are located too close together. Fish don't have separate ear drums, and sounds travel so much faster in water than in air that they arrive at a fish's ears almost simultaneously."

Most anglers would start out by throwing topwaters in the shallows, around visible structure. Although this technique is a great one to start out with, you need to ask yourself where you will go to next. As a bass angler, you have to be two steps ahead. That is, you have to be thinking about what you are doing at the present moment, but you also have to be aware of where you plan to fish next, and where you plan to fish after that."

Small Waters, Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Small Waters, Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Do you remember the pond or small lake where you fished the first time? Many of us do. We fished small water as children and those memories can be as wonderful as the ones we've created on any lake we might fish today. Tanks, small lakes or ponds were the places that we explored in our youth, the places where we learned about nature - the real birds and bees from a kid's perspective. If we didn't catch any fish, we'd fish for crawfish or just play by the side of, or in, the water."

Tube Tactics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Soft plastic lures have been truly revolutionized only twice since they were introduced in the 1950's. The Slug-Go soft plastic jerkbait changed the way we view, and use, soft plastics. Variations of that bait continue to be designed and produced by many manufacturers as anglers rely heavily upon its fish catching ability."

There is No Such Thing as Fishing Too Shallow « Wired2Fish
There is No Such Thing as Fishing Too Shallow « Wired2Fish: "I learned a lesson this year that there is no such thing as too shallow in bass fishing. Bass go where they need to in order to survive. We as anglers believe that bass only do certain things at certain times based on conditions. We read something or watch something related to bass fishing and believe it is a hard fast truth."

The Texas Rigged Plastic Worm | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
The Texas Rigged Plastic Worm | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "First, let us discuss tackle. The rod is the most critical piece of equipment. You are looking for a rod that is very sensitive at the tip yet has a lot of backbone for setting the hook and horsing fish from cover. In today's world, you can find rods specifically made for worm fishing in all price ranges and weights. I personally use All Star WR1 and WR2 rods exclusively. These rods are made from IM8 graphite blanks, 6 ½ feet long, in a heavy- to medium-heavy weight making them very sensitive, a lot of backbone and you can feel the bite without any trouble. The price is nominal, but if the price is too high for you, look at the Tourney Special rods at Bass Pro Shops. The point is that any of these rods provide the sensitivity or "feel" you need for worm fishing. I recommend buying at least one of each weight"

A Bass'n Plan: Open water tactics for 2014 - Outdoor News - May 2014
A Bass'n Plan: Open water tactics for 2014 - Outdoor News - May 2014: "There are two kinds of spring bass fishermen: the fair-weather type who waits until late May, and the eager beaver who gets on the water shortly after the ice leaves.
The fair-weather angler will catch his share of bass, but the eager beaver will catch a lot more – and bigger – because he will be fishing during the pre-spawn season."

Top early-season walleye fishing techniques - Outdoor News - May 2013
Top early-season walleye fishing techniques - Outdoor News - May 2013: "How about some thoughts on specific early season walleyes techniques. For starters, as I’ve suggested before, always have a game plan and pre-rig your rods!
Generally speaking, you can toss small jigs in the shallow areas you’re likely targeting for walleyes this open-water season. Say 1/16-ouncers, because we don’t want to spook fish with big hardware. Tip your jig with a minnow or (if you can find them this spring) a leech."

We had an amazing week of intense warm weather which really heated up the lakes FAST! Too fast? It’s a hard question to answer. Fishing surged on some lakes in the county while others seemed to drift backwards. On the walleye side of things, the shiners are in a big hurry to get rid of their spawn."

Lake Fishing Reports MN Fish Winnie Cass Leech Winnibigoshish Pokegama: "I'm going to let you in on a little secret about one of the most reliable patterns for early summer, mixed bag fishing that I know about.
Fishing newly emerging patches of Coontail and Northern Milfoil Weeds.
You Know the ones that I'm talking about, the ones that during late summer, that grow all the way to the surface and float like a carpet. Those really thick patches of weeds that you won't even try to fish during late summer because they're too thick to work in.
Well that is then and this is now. During the first couple of weeks in June, these weed patches are just beginning to emerge and fishing in them is easily manageable. When the weed stalks are short 6 to 12 inches tall, they attract and hold all sorts of bait for the fish. Minnows, insect larvae, you name it. If it's good for the fish, you can find it in these thick, green weeds."

Rigging The Huddleston Deluxe | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Rigging The Huddleston Deluxe | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "First off, the Huddleston trout (the ROF #12's and #16's) already come pre-rigged with a large, single jig hook in it's back, so why go through all of this trouble, to give them an "after market" rigging?
Well for starters, the ROF #5's do not come pre-rigged with the jig hook in the back. Yes, all of the Huddleston trout do have a ring in the belly, which will allow for the attachment of a split ring, and any hook you want to use, however, this hook placement will cause a much higher percentage of "bottom lip hooked fish", and even worse, a much higher percentage of "gill hooked fish", which when we stop to consider that this lure is primarily used for trophy bass, gill hooking is simply not acceptable."

Understanding Lake Maps | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Understanding Lake Maps | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Understanding lake maps, the terminology used, seasonal patterns of bass and how that relates to areas on the map, and good places to start fishing on a new lake is very important to any fishing trip. It's also important for safety reasons.
We'll start by breaking down the different parts of the map that enable you to have a picture of the underwater world. First, most maps are color coded to give you a visual effect as to what areas are the deepest, maybe at the dam, down to the shallowest areas on the upper end. The colors generally are in shades of blue with the deepest part of the lake being the darkest. Some maps will also show areas of timber or stumps with boat paths indicated."

Lake Fishing Reports MN Fish Winnie Cass Leech Winnibigoshish Pokegama: "At least not if it's one of Itasca County's deep, clear water lakes. The kind that like to be warmed up before the action starts.
Monday wasn't the first time and it won't be the last time that I've showed up at a lake and discovered that it wasn't quite ready for prime time. During early summer, there are just some lakes that don't get really great until they've had plenty of time to warm up.
Hoping to re-live an experience that we had last year, Dick Williams, Paul Kautza and I shuffled into the Grand Rapids area to try our hand at fishing some clear water.
At first our timing looked good. We found surface temperatures of 69 degrees in a shallow bay and there were a quite a few fish in there too. Largemouth Bass, Sunfish and even a small school of Walleyes roaming around in a patch of Cabbage Weeds at 7 or 8 feet of water"

Walleye lessons still hold true over 20 years later - Farm and Dairy
Walleye lessons still hold true over 20 years later - Farm and Dairy: "In the mid-1980s, Lake Erie’s declared title of Walleye Capital of the World was already well established and undisputable. Those were times when the accepted method of walleye fishing was drift fishing and casting to the fish. The waters of Erie’s shallow western basin, a body of water stretching from Toledo to the islands, contained masses of fish attracting reefs and other structure, green tinted water, and literally millions of hungry walleyes."
